The prophet Isaiah and the president-elect

The prophet Isaiah and the president-elect: Distinctly Catholic:  MGB: Neo-liberalism failed in its commitment to austerity in the face of economic crisis. Its fear of appearing socialistic was its undoing. More taxes on the rich and higher benefit levels would have preserved the neo-liberal governments, although taking these steps would have taken them out of neo-liberalism. Clinton would have been more of the same and the jury is out as to what Trump is. While some see potential fascism, that view is probably alarmist. I fear that the corruption impulse is what we will see, although that is harder to do with a 24 hour news cycle - even with the gutting of the media's investigative reporting muscles.
